Welcome to the forum but there is no cheap way to increase the performance in yoru car. Turbos run about 600 dollars (more than your car) and if you add all the stuff you want in your car it would add up to nearly 3 thousand if not more. Imo not worth spending a lot of money on a 500 dollar car unless u bought it as a project car to invest a lot of money and turn it into a performance car, but from what I'm reading you dont have a lot to invest. Ride it till the wheels fall off

Oh boy,
Before tackling a turbo project please please please do your research
And by that, I do not mean, just read through the forum
Do your research outside of here, like get a book, search and compare product, learn about how the turbo works, not just that somehow a turbo will make your car go faster.
Working at hardees, it sounds like you've got quite a while before you are going to be getting into anything like a turbo, so take that time to reseach research research!!
